[OM] Re: Oh, Digital, Wherefore Art Thou?

[Walt Wayman]

Didn't say it would be a good print.  Just said that's how big it would be.  
Just trying to put it all in perspective, you know.  No print 8 feet wide is 
going to be "good" unless it's made from at least a 6x9cm tranny or negative.  
Of course, 4x5 in. would be even better.  But I'm sure something digital would 
be, oh, so much better.
